Georg
"Georg" is a quest to understand the father I
lost. It is a story of loss, idylls, illusions and longing: a love that unites
two worlds, an idyll to make up for what the war had destroyed, a struggle for
an uncompromising art. And it is the story of a tragic shipwreck of those
ideals in the face of reality and a haunting past, a story of alcohol and
death. In the end all that remains is the longing for the idyll my father
created, even if it was just an illusion...
